mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-18#1726456 << i've seen racks with actual 40 machines in there, but not without a lot of expert finagling. that's the absolute limit, because yes you'll also need a switch. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: That's a scam. Who fucking drinks just one beer?

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> erlehmann: enemy can fuck itself with a telephone pole. << That I CAN get for you. When do you want delivery?

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> erlehmann: they sat and waited for it to go offline, then published 'groundbreaking paper' << Wouldn't hurt to have a Qntra explainer ready for when victory time comes

a111: Logged on 2017-10-19 01:28 trinque: when there's a republican rsatron, I'll immediately be moving deedbot to that.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-19#1726460 << hey listen, this place is not a good fit for your style. ☝︎

trinque: when there's a republican rsatron, I'll immediately be moving deedbot to that. ☟︎

trinque: I'd make the switch to using raw n and e today, but am loath to build anything more using a libgcrypt that has no future.

asciilifeform: but nobody should be making a habit of this.

asciilifeform: move the clock on your box, sign a replacement ( that DOES NOT expire ), and see if trinque takes mercy on you, erlehmann

erlehmann: my key expired on 2017-10-10 probably, as it should. i made the error of creating a key that does not expire only once.

asciilifeform: erlehmann: enemy can fuck itself with a telephone pole.

asciilifeform: erlehmann: understand, whole shebang is still running, on a 32core box in asciilifeform's house

asciilifeform: erlehmann: the infineon thing is a straight plagiarism of phuctor

erlehmann: i noticed recently, looked a bit in the logs, then did something else

BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> mhm; estimated as 42*.3kW << Of those 42U, 1 or 2 go to switch. Then you gotta keep a sane heat envelope lest some alf-weird cook everything and piss off the neighbors. 42U ends up turning into something like 20 servers apparently. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> those were more of an attack on the system than actual part of the system. much like http://trilema.com/2013/compliance/ describes a specific sort of insult. << Kinda why Trump's ED secretary from the Amway family really grates the lizards scales. For all their talk, Amway made money helping blacks make money

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand though, they're ~already doing it~. usg SIGNALS can't hire outside of a pool of snowdens, mannings and reality winners

mircea_popescu: aaaaha. it's a rerun.

mircea_popescu: those were more of an attack on the system than actual part of the system. much like http://trilema.com/2013/compliance/ describes a specific sort of insult.

mircea_popescu: that's kinda what's going on there. yes, turnips. like all peon spawn ever, like marius' legionnaires, like so on and so forth. they came out of a cunt and are looking for a grave.

asciilifeform: it was a gag then and gag now.

asciilifeform: napoleon's 'marshall's baton in the knapsack of every soldier' is a lulgag

mircea_popescu: the problem with this is that it is ALSO a -ev game. there is no social mobility, not in the nato reich at any rate. the faking of it was becoming ever more expensive. and so cca 2001 it moved online.

mircea_popescu: ie, you ~have alternative~ : join this usg corporation, wash toilets for a while, climb the ladder.

asciilifeform: so it's a -ev game. and ergo no surprise that the people playing it, are turnips.

asciilifeform: contrary to popular belief, there is ~no moneys in the shitware biz. ( consider : spam makes ~0 ; ransomism trojan of global proportions ends up making a few dozen btc at best; what remains ? ...selling 'toolz' to ~penniless idjits ? )

asciilifeform: iirc there is even a usgological internal term for the process, but i fughot

asciilifeform: the conversion of a heathenpit into a honeypot, without skipping a beat of music, is fairly common thing

mircea_popescu: if you wish, this is an interesting case of "orange revolution" of a web property. also rather an era ender, since 2011 they're no longer on the web but on the "deep" web whatevers.

mircea_popescu: this all ended in 2011, when a crack team of damien trevatt + gf (one jasmin choudhury ; split cca 2016 to whore out for deloitte uk) took over and pushed it in a "new direction", which consists of trying to make friends with the tedx zone of the blue usg. dood runs some minor conference organizer http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-11#1723924 item on the side. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: it was very much what you'd expect (somewhat anachronistically) of a "silk road 2.0" these days ; replete with moderators scamming users, various independent activities (what the usg calls illegal) and so forth.

a111: Logged on 2017-10-14 21:02 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-14#1725340 << i will admit to being curious re what it is mircea_popescu thinks he can use those folx for. they have the apparent intellectual ability of a turnip.

mircea_popescu: and to round off http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-14#1725352 : original blackhatworld was started by a moscow fellow whose name we'll elide. ☝︎

ben_vulpes: am estimating and asking for a sanity check on my estimate.

asciilifeform: this is a what, 42u ?

a111: Logged on 2017-10-06 18:34 mircea_popescu: and if getting a whole 4/16/36/42 ? lockable sets ?

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> will he fly to change disks ? clean fans ? << /me figured camping out a reasonable walk from one's #1 rack reasonable measure in name of responsivity

asciilifeform: ( how it is structured. i.e. is it a tentacle ? )

a111: Logged on 2017-10-06 19:37 mircea_popescu: so in this sense : an unmanned operation behind a maybe-porous wall is not in any sense useful.

ben_vulpes: am working a few other quotes as well, will check in later

mircea_popescu: i have this utterly psychotic delusion that i don't personally wish to take more than i should have ; nor less ; and that a general system can be built on these premises. why the fuck would he want for me to have fewer shares than i should have ? what sense does it make, he is going to fuck all the women himself ? with what ? solve all the problems ? etc.

asciilifeform: the implication also is that there is a particular kind of mistake, exemplified imho by the zeroasset corp thing in bbet, that is easy to make -- to insist that the energy be conserved at all times ☟︎

mircea_popescu: the fiat forced mistake is to "o noes, gotta write it down BEFORE". it is forced because fiat world doesn't have a forum, ie, can't communciate, and as a result there's no such thing as meaningful consent, or negotiation.

mircea_popescu: a

ben_vulpes: and a "one year guaranteed note" means "payback of principle in full within a year plus some interest amount"?

ben_vulpes: at the very least i'd like to go there to rack a few boxes

mircea_popescu: why not ? you'd make a fine isper.

ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, hk colo facility quotes a cab with a c block and 10gbps at ~4kusd/mo

ben_vulpes: may i have a copy please?

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: d'ya have a warez of lisp in small pieces?

mircea_popescu: it exploits the a batut (vb, to fight, imperfect) / abatut (noun, depressed) homophony and then of coruse a major trope of romanian humor, lapte batut, ie beaten milk, ie buttermilk.

mircea_popescu: how about this : stierlitz s-a batut cu foc. focul s-a batut cum a putut. abatut era un barbat bine. barbatii bine nu beau lapte batut.

asciilifeform: more like 'stierlitz fought with gusto. gusto fought as he could. AsHecould was a man's man. aMans was a girl who did not abide wimps.'

jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Stirlitz s'est battu avec une étincelle. Le feu s'est battu de mon mieux. Pourrait être un gars cool. Un faible faible n'a pas aimé.

jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Error: "tr" is not a valid command.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and i don't get it, gotta be a cool guy to fight with fire ?

asciilifeform has been on a lengthy ro kick but not equal to this job

asciilifeform realized that 80+% of the joakes, don't translate worth a shit, e.g. 'Штирлиц дрался с огоньком. Огонек дрался как мог. Мог был парень крутой. А Крутая слабаков не жаловала.' << can this be made to work in ro ? or do you need agglutinative declensions necessarily.

asciilifeform: ( the staph on your nose will ~also~ take over your cultures if you give it half a chance )

BingoBoingo: Perhaps confusion is unit of measure. A dribble is an "academic" paper resulting from drool meeting paper substrate

asciilifeform: 'stierlitz was thrown from the tenth floor, but caught on a balcony by a miracle. but the next day, the miracle was swollen and interfered with walking.'

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'While Defendant has surrendered her passport and cannot obtain another one in her own name, this obstacle provides little assurance given her self-described desire to "burn the White house down" and "[find somewhere in Kurdistan to live ... or Nepal."' << Lol, mebbe shouldn't have got her balls from a syringe?

mircea_popescu: then from there it found its way into (german) police work, and from there to us a coupla decades later. much like everything else.

mircea_popescu: otherwise a hunchback dude with a magnifying glass could make you in a fucking cafe for crying out loud.

mircea_popescu: incidentally fiber check was a major source of early makes. people ended up setting up "shops" in berlin to change.

asciilifeform: ( 'stierlitz walked on the streets of berlin. mueller recognized that he was a soviet spy, but not because of the ppsh machinepistol clumsily slung across his shoulder, and not because of the parachute he dragged behind him, but because of the maker tag on his waistcoat, 'bolshevikess', which in typical russian slopiness had not been torn off.' ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: '"hates" America, misused a top-secret computer during her Air Force career, admires Edward Snowden and Julian Assange... ...one need look no further than Defendant's own writings to surmise that she hates the United States and has plotted against the government. On February 25, 2017, during training for her new NSA job, Defendant wrote her sister that she would fail a polygraph because of questions conceming whether she had ever pl

mircea_popescu: of the minority qualified, there's readily distinguished three categories : the utter imbeciles a la maria schneider, sewing up their togas "for modesty!!!" ; the tolerant girlies who put up with the couch but no more ; and finally gia -- the chicks the fucking couch itself can't keep up with.

mircea_popescu: most girls are disqualified from nature, by being short, or not having a waistline, or etcetera.

asciilifeform: pet : 'problem with dysgenics hypothesis is that the pertinent change is much too slow' ' asciilifeform : 'entirely possible that descent and climb are wholly asymmetric -- just like process of falling from a plane is quite unlike take-off; 1 or 2 generations of supernumerary children failing to die, possibly can wreck the pool'

mircea_popescu: died of fucking. which is a much better way to go than the dying of boredom, a la adriana ( http://trilema.com/2016/io-la-conoscevo-bene/#comment-118515 ).

mircea_popescu: and speaking of aids-en : isn't it a pity nobody's yet made a film out of gia carangi's life ? that chick was ACTUALLY a model, in the most proper of senses. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: but this is the deep reason why "death from stressor - ban stressor" is not adequate a response. no, let them die. ban the dieing if you must.

mircea_popescu: stopping smoking doesn't reduce cancer, because the sort of shameful shitsacks that GET cancer will get it, whether from smoking or not. if not from smoking -- they'll find a different stressor. ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2017-09-25 09:43 mircea_popescu: aand in yet more lulz : cancer incidence increased in us adolescents by a steady 0.5 - 0.6% per year, each year, since 1975.

mircea_popescu: but yes, the day git is replaced by v and us presidency appointments are implemented as a !! function, the ~same flies will be laying the ~same eggs on this new meat, equally like on the old. at least as far as they're concerned.

mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone gives a shit.

asciilifeform: ( https://archive.is/ENtoS and elsewhere if anyone gives a shit )

mircea_popescu: intellectual dominance, it's a thing.

asciilifeform: in other lulz, not only trilema gets plagiarized... https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/09/14/software-is-a-long-con ( https://archive.is/TYEEm ) happily peddles http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1719 + http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1299 with serialnumberfiledoff

asciilifeform: ( if it is not obvious how to turn a hasher into a ciphrator, and vice-versa, i will describe if asked )

asciilifeform: ( constant-spacetime-able, and not in any particular way known to be weaker than the other voodoos, and you already ~have~, presumably, a keccak )

mircea_popescu: we need a cipher directorate by now.

asciilifeform: hm did asciilifeform mention he is going on a voyage.

asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu , diana_coman , & co want to use 'serpent', i can make a pick-your-own-bitness-via-shamiring twist on above snippet. but prolly not until after i come back from voyage

mircea_popescu was a great fan of tiger hash back in the day.

asciilifeform: fwiw there is a quite short ada serpent existing, passes the test set ( and branch-free ). ☟︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform any proposal on a method to compare camellia and serpent meaningfully ?

mircea_popescu: in other items of republican interest : eulora is at a stage where we have to set down what we'll use for sensitive data encryption (such as for instance the privkey files). i don't particularily wish to use aes ; anyone wants to contribute to this emerging spec ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: anyway, for context, grabbing ass in 90s europe is a lot different from what 2017s us imagines it'd be.

mod6: i lul'd at your encounter with a "martial arts expert" in The Mechanic.

mircea_popescu: but you can't have some bloodwork you didn't need today because they had some extra capacity, nor can you not have a yellow fever shot when needed because they'll have some next week. by next week their value is 0.

mircea_popescu: the demand is, as they say, very inelastic. if it comes to fucking, you can fuck whatever you catch : a lithe blonde today, a nothing tomorrow, a turkish hipped brunette next week. when it comes to eatring, you can eat three plums today even if you felt like two, so as not to throw one out, and you can make do with a chicken tomorrow, even if you wanted a slice of beef.

mircea_popescu: myeah. living space, be it of the housing kind, or of the hosting kind, or of the hospital kind, or of all other kinds can only ever be operated as a kolhoz.

asciilifeform: ( the sad thing re nfs co, is that it is in fact a kolhoz, quite like amazon's and the rest, but more ancient and built by actual men, vs 'millenial' scum, and so it actually ~works~, and delivers on the promise -- you don't own your hdd, BUT you never have to go down from a dead hdd; you own no ip; BUT no ddos; etc. it however IS STILL A KOLHOZ , with the complacency and inevitable day of doom that comes with this. ) ☟︎

mircea_popescu: it's becoming difficult to go by it, the warak arish / baba ganoush / cardamom coffee exert a discernible pull.

mircea_popescu: "hurr durr, so-and-so is traditionally a democratic stronghold in the very limited sense that people there are willing to spend an hour on a sunday supporting democrats if it's not raining, and if the support is limited to stamping a piece of paper once. and if it's not gonna happen more often than once every few years at the most."

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo heh they're finally starting to figure out that there's a fucking difference between painting a state blue in the sense that 300 more people could be arsed to answer the phone out of a population of 5mn is VERY DIFFERENT from turning a state red in the sense that you've got ten k people there ready to shoot.

a111: Logged on 2017-10-03 03:05 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-03#1719979 << gotta appreciate this peculiar fact : asciilifeform used nfs co. service since 2007. not misprint : a decade sharp as of a few mo. ago. with ZERO MAINTENANCE and ZERO hassle and ~zero downtime and laughed at GB/s ddoses and do i have to go on ?
